WWE cut Paige's response segment from the latest episode of SmackDown, continuing a pattern of trimming her appearances since her return at WrestleMania 42. The segment was promoted but never broadcast due to time constraints, a common occurrence in the company, reports Times Now News.
The snub comes weeks after Nikki and Brie Bella betrayed Paige at SummerSlam. Nikki had taped a backstage promo taunting Paige, but the planned rebuttal was scrapped. Paige responded on X with a clap emoji, calling out Nikki's hypocrisy. WWE is expected to extend the rivalry until Brie Bella recovers, potentially setting up a tag match involving AJ Lee.
The narrative that WWE is deliberately undermining Paige ignores a simpler reality: time crunches force cuts every week, and she is not the first. But the pattern since her return, a three-minute match, a shelved European tour, now a cut promo, deserves scrutiny. The test is whether WWE builds to a proper match when Brie Bella returns, or keeps using Paige as a backdrop for the Bella Twins' drama. Fans will track next week's booking closely.
